Christopher Stevenson was last seen on Thursday, Aug. 24, 2023 entering a building in the 600 block of Sixth Avenue S.E.

Following a year-long investigation including a search of a residence in downtown Calgary and a rural property located on Range Road 293, in Rocky View County, Alberta, investigators have now laid charges in relation to his death.

The evidence collected led investigators to believe Christopher was murdered in August 2023. As a result, police have charged Shaun Alexander FOLK, 47, of Calgary, with second-degree murder.

He will next appear in court on Wednesday, Aug. 28, 2024.

“This has been an extremely complex investigation where several resources were used from across our Service, as well as several resources from the RCMP,” says Staff Sgt. Sean Gregson of the Calgary Police Service Homicide Unit. “We now believe we have a good understanding of the events leading up to Christopher’s death and the days following his murder. Our investigators are continuing to move this investigation forward and are determined to hold those involved accountable.”

Anyone with information about Christopher’s death is asked to contact police at 403-266-1234.
